Dark-sky preserve

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TheParanal Observatory inChile is a dark-sky preserve, which lets it have good quality astronomical use

Adark-sky preserve (DSP) isprotected area withoutlight pollution created by humans.[1] These areas are used to helppromoteastronomy. Different countries have different programs for making areas dark-sky preserves. TheInternational Dark-Sky Association (IDA) uses the wordreserve instead ofpark, orpreserve with their dark-sky preserves. This is so that people don't confuse International Dark Sky Reserves (IDSR) and International Dark Sky Parks (IDSP).

In Canada, there is a very strict way to make areas dark-sky preserves. This was based on the work by theRoyal Astronomical Society of Canada.[2] The program is based on the amount of light in an area and how muchskyglow there is from cities and towns that are close to it.[3] Canada's program is the only one in the world that makes areas dark-sky preserves. Outside Canada, when areas are called dark-sky preserves, they are not official, and might not be a real dark or protected preserve.
